Counter Protest to Anti-Muslim Rally

In response to the anti-Muslim rallies taking place across the country on June 10th, there will be a counter-protest at the State Capitol organized by a number of groups dedicated to fighting bigotry and racism.

As stated by Counter Protest organizers, “Join us in showing support for our Muslim neighbors and opposing anti-Muslim bigotry outside the State Capitol at 11:00am. Together we can outnumber, drown out the racists, and rally as a progressive community to appreciate our religious, racial, and national diversity and oppose these kinds of anti-Muslim and racist actions in the future.”

CAIR-MN and others are suggesting that an alternative to attending the counter-protest (and possibly drawing more attention to the message of the anti-Muslim protestors) is to join the Unity Iftar in the evening. This breaking fast celebration of food, community and togetherness will send a strong message that Minnesota stands united against hate. Click here for more information.
